using the device, that device is not a ramdisk, and some more
things. To add injury to insult, you need to be root to be able
to issue that ioctl (technically have CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Why isn't fsync() enough for a block device?
fsync() is fine on the outgoing side, but not on the incoming side.
(the imcoming side might have valid buffers if it was the outgoing side
on the previous migration, for example, or because of automatic probing)
